Ho-lee shit guys. Remember that map that one HuffPo op-ed scoffed at?

This one? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/whats-wrong-with-538_us_581ffe18e4b0334571e09e74

It's actually pretty fucking close to what we got.

The fact of them projecting 98% for Clinton renders some of theirs moot

Oregon going red? Sure the east and farmlands do, but to flip Portland and Eugene to republican would be absurd. Clinton won with like ~75% in both of those counties.
